Byron Olsen
Hi, I'm Byron, aka superbee! Who is Byron Olsen? At first glance....maybe you would describe me as a geek who you can relate to, athletic without being Mr. Sunday football, a man who adores his family and would do anything for them, and and a person who pursues new technology with vigor - so much so that any hobby I take on involves some sort of new gadget! If you want to get down to the typical 20 questions or adjective game, I am a Christian, husband, father, son, brother, brother in law, nephew, cousin, friend and business owner. I am human and imperfect, but Jesus died for my sins and I am trying my best to let Him shape my life to be like His. I have been married to my beautiful and strong wife for 10+ years and we have an energetic and affectionate six year old daughter together. My wife and I were married in the church in 2001 but never made God a priority in our family until 2009. We always believed in God and had personal relationships with him but we never let him have full control or made him the foundation of our life or our marriage until 2009. We were at the brink of divorce until we finally gave in and admitted what we were missing. Since then our lives have dramatically changed and have been very fulfilling and enriching. Everything we both grew up with and were missing was now being fulfilled. My wife Marion had achieved her MBA in Business and was Director of Marketing for a wellness company and I was a Network and Telephony Analyst for a national corporation. We both quit our corporate jobs in 2010 and launched our business, LightSpeed Designs - a marketing, web design, and graphic design firm. We had started the business as a side business in 2002. We had no idea God would ever turn it into our full time careers, until we felt his calling and followed it. Leaving our comfortable but unfulfilling corporate jobs was certainly a leap of faith! And God never turned his back on us. How is it possible we could both leap out on our own and leave the comfort of corporate America? No medical insurance, no 401k, no sick time, no vacation, no holidays....Yet, God provided. Every month, even in a terrible economy. God opened doors and provided. Allowing us time with our daughter in her first year of kindergarten, time together, time to serve our church and time to serve our community. We have enjoyed the most amazing year we've ever experienced.
Now, we're on to 2011 and we know God has amazing plans in store for us. We feel called to serve Him, whether that be through missions or ministry, using the gifts He's given us. We feel it deep in our souls and are letting Him lead. We hope you'll join us for the journey and watch God work in our humble and little lives 2011! We're just one of the many He loves. And so are you!
